  • No ERA baseball in 2012

    BRIGHTON – There was enough student interest to field an Eagle Ridge Academy baseball team this spring.

    But the interest didn’t translate to the parents of the students. So any baseball program for the Warriors will have to wait for a year.

    “There wasn’t enough parent involvement,” athletic director Keith Duncan said. “The program would have to be completely self-sustaining. The night I had the parent meeting, I only had a handful of parents show up.”
